Nux Mighty Lite BT amplifier and Android app

8/5/2019

Seeing the video below and hearing something that small and battery powered that sounded more or less good was thinking that it could be interesting for some people here.
There is a Android app that gives a lot of control over a lot of parameters and there is drum loops built in as well.
Have been thinking that it would be good to have a small battery powered amp for some time as there is chance that will take my guitar to the street one day when economic pressure become to severe...
The price is a little bit steep at a around a hundred monies and there is better options for small practice amps specially second hand for that price but it is probably hard to find something this portable with this sound.

s.mart Pattern, the new smartChord app for fingerstyle picking patterns

4/14/2019

Interested as fingerstyle guitar is what I am practicing and playing. It does not seem to be out yet tough. But there is a lot of other string based apps that the developer have released over the years so it should be at the Playstore anytime soon I guess?

Riffshare - Simple but potent multi track composing

10/7/2017

This developer have been around for a long time and the main idea of his earlier work has been the same as this latest one. Which is to make a multi track sequencer without much bells and whistles but fast to work with and still get good results.

I get the feeling too that it is meant to be for practicing which it would be good for. Just to lay some drums and bass for example and then play guitar to it etc.

One thing that is not seen in other apps on Android is the sequencer (it is possible to do the same things in most DAW's if one feels so inclined). There is no stepping in and out of different tracks, everything is on track and the instruments can be chosen from the sidebar.
So it is very simple to differentiate the different tracks and instruments as they are colour coded. This is great as you can see what any given track is up to while composing.

It is for free, no publicity and open source!

BeatPrompter - Teleprompter/autocue app

3/14/2017

For rehearsing/practice and live gigs this seems like a very useful tool.

Google Play info:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenfrew.beatprompter

BeatPrompter is a teleprompter/autocue app for song lyrics and/or chords which places a greater emphasis on visibility, timing and rhythm than other similar apps. By defining such things as beats-per-minute, beats-per-bar, bars-per-line, etc, you can have a greater control over the display, and by knowing that the onscreen text will definitely be in the right place at the right time, BeatPrompter can display each line of the song in as large a font as possible, making it more readable from a greater distance, or for users with imperfect vision. Great for players of guitar, keyboard, mandolin, banjo, whatever, or even just vocalists.

Check out a video of BeatPrompter in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ5Tdwtgimc

DEMO VERSION! This will only read the first 15 lines of any song files, and MIDI clock sync functionality is disabled. You can buy the full version from within the demo.

BeatPrompter uses the popular ChordPro file format, with a few custom {tags} to control app-specific functionality. It reads song files from the (free) Google Drive, Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage services, so you must store your files in either of these to make use of BeatPrompter.

BeatPrompter can output custom MIDI messages at precisely-timed moments to control any external devices you have attached, as well as outputting MIDI clock signals to synchronize external devices, such as looper pedals and drum machines. It can also optionally play backing tracks along with each song, and you can define multiple backing tracks for each song and choose which to play.
